1 What is this?
This is a tool for system integrators that simulates a nurse call system. For instance,
you can use it to verify that a logging or paging software such as BXO Log or BXO
Local Alarm Solution is configured properly, even without the actual nurse call
system. Also, when you run into problems integrating two systems, this tool will help
you isolate the fault and find out in which subsystem it is.
2 System Requirements
Windows XP SP2 with .NET Framework 2.0
Windows 2003 Server with .NET Framework 2.0
